Stay focused. permalink fedilink source hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] aaron@lemm.ee 67 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) All, please read this article (NYT gift link) - this IS and has been the strategy. Blitzkrieg policy while distracting the "stupid" media with outrageous, ultimately meaningless distractions. From the ever flatulent Steve Bannon: "All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Waldschrat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago Steve Bannon said six years ago on Bill Maher: "You seperate the signal from the noise.

"We're going to invade Gaza" is just as insane as "we're going to put 18 year olds in charge of the Treasury", "eliminate the department of education" or "win the war on diversity". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 years ago (2 children) Yeah people keep saying "this is just a distraction" to, like, very single story.

This is Donnie's crap. Leon has his own agenda. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) Exactly what that they are doing is not a distraction? Because every single time they say or do anything, someone on Lemmy says it's a distraction. Now even announcing they will invade Gaza is a distraction?
